Pros

None. There are so many companies now in the space business, sharing the same mission! Many with the technologies that are far more advanced than of VG, more product lines (VG has an airplane (that they call a mothership) and one ship product that is still in early stages), a business model that makes sense, a better financial position (security) and a stronger leadership team.

Cons

Employees are leaving. Morale is low. Leadership says the right things once in a while but does not walk the talk, ever. Poor communication. Executive leadership is under the impression that they are the only company sending anything to space... correction, near space. HR struggles to even hire HR professionals. No sight of Sir Richard B. Low compensation in all areas. Can't hire candidates as they tell us they can make way more in other companies, while working from home. Leadership had announced that they have opened an office in Tustin. No one from the Mojave hangar knows what will happen to them, while they are being asked to drive 3 to 5 hours to Tustin. Management says that driving 3 hours to work is a norm.

Pros

People and communities are wonderful. It is a good brand to work under. Hybrid schedule is great

Cons

Zero promotion opportunities. Go get experience, but do not expect them to promote you in any way. They will only promote people they like. Brand name is only good thing. management are silo from people who are doing the actual work. VP and directors will yell at you and embarrassed you during an executive meeting.
